Was that a bull’s head? Right in front of you is the Toret ciccione. It’s one of Turin’s iconic green drinking fountains. These quirky fountains, affectionately nicknamed “Toret” (little bull in Piedmontese), are as much a part of Turin’s landscape as the Mole Antonelliana. The Toret ciccione, however, stands out. Why? It’s slightly taller than its brethren. The first Toret, you see, was based on a Sicilian design. But to accommodate Turin’s symbol, the bull’s head, the city’s foundry had to give it a little height boost. Today, nearly 800 Toret quench the thirst of locals and tourists alike, each one a charming reminder of Turin’s unique character. A sip from the Toret ciccione is a refreshing taste of Turin’s history.
